Byron Brizuela
Overview: Remixing as Cultural Strategy
During the late 1990s and early 2000s, remixes were not marketing add‑ons — they were essential tools for radio expansion, club penetration, and cross‑border audience growth.

Clubs and DJ circuits
U.S., Mexican, and international markets
Rather than simply re‑editing songs, Brizz remixes were designed to translate records across cultures, tempos, and audiences, extending the life and reach of major releases during a defining era for Latin music’s global rise.
